On May 16, 1919, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure 
and condemnation of of dozen jars of Compound Extract of Cubebs with Co- 
paiba, consigned by the Tarrant Co., New York, N. Y., remaining unsold in the 
original unbroken packages at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had 
been shipped on or about March 29, 1919, and transported from the State of. 
New York into the State of Pennsylvania, and charging misbranding in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Examination of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed it to.consist essentially of copaiba and cubebs.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that on the label on the 
jar containing, and on the label on the wrapper enclosing, and in the circular 
accompanying the article were statements regarding the curative or therapeutic 
effectsof the article and the ingredients or substances contained therein, to wit, 
(wrapper and jar labels) "A valued medicine for gonorrhoea,-gleet, whites, 
etc.," .(circular)." Compound Extract of Cubebs with,Copaiba is specially pre- 
parecLfor the treatment of Gonorrhoea, Gleet, and simple Whites or Leucorrhcea. 
*?**?-disorders of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, vagina and urethra in 
which tliese drugs have proved their usefulness. * *- .* Directions.-Gon- 
orrhoea * * * Gleet * * * In Leucorrhcea or Whites * * .. *. In In- 
flammations of the Bladder and Urethra," which were false and fraudulent in. 
that the article would not produce the curative or therapeutic effects which pur- 
chasers were led to expect by said statements, winch were applied to the article 
with a knowledge of their falsity, for the purpose of defrauding purchasers 
thereof. 
? On-August 14, 1919, the said Tarrant & Co., claimant, having consented to a 
decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
ordered by the court .'that the product be released to said claimant upon the 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum 
of $175, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the 
article should be relabeled under the supervision of a representative of this 
department.
